Flying with Babies & Young Children

Unknown // Wednesday 8 May 2013


Next month we're off to the beach.

We're going to Norfolk which is only about 4 hours away on the train and the sun is going to shine gloriously for the WHOLE week!

The sun will then shine all summer whilst we maraud around London's wonderful parks and head off for day trips to the countryside!

It will NOT rain!

Hmmm ... I'm not putting my money on it; sunshine is not something us Brits do well.


Most likely, it will be a bit rubbish and we will need to scoot off somewhere cheap and sunny - i.e. abroad - in September. But that means facing up to the parental torture that is flying with small children!


Coop a young child up for hours on end with hundreds of other people unwilling to entertain or be entertained by them. Mix in complete inability to get to sleep and travel sickness and you've got a recipe for disaster. And that's all assuming that you didn't lose them and your luggage at the airport.

This is my list of quick tips on how to survive the trauma - do add your own tips and if you've got travel posts of your own feel free to add them to the link-up below.
